The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

‘Gu Juexi, do you know how afraid I was?

‘I was so scared that we would go back to how we used to be after I forgave you.

‘I was so scared that by giving you another chance, I would be blocking my own way out.’

Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei tightly. He pressed her head to his shoulder and stroked her back gently.

“But Ye Yuwei, how would you know what you’re missing if you don’t give me another chance?” Gu Juexi asked softly.

Ye Yuwei continued to rest her head on Gu Juexi’s shoulder without saying anything.

All Gu Juexi had on his mind was to not make Ye Yuwei cry, but at the same time he felt that maybe crying it out would be the best for her.

The two of them remained in that position the whole morning until Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi pitifully and told him that her legs were numb.

The way Ye Yuwei pouted and complained pitifully made Gu Juexi burst into laughter.

“Stop laughing and put me down, my legs are numb.” Ye Yuwei bit Gu Juexi’s shoulder as she tried to endure the tingling in her legs.

Gu Juexi let Ye Yuwei bite him all she wanted and reached out to massage her legs very gently.

“Don’t touch my legs, ouch…” Ye Yuwei yelled and smacked Gu Juexi’s shoulder out of pain.

Gu Juexi glared at Ye Yuwei and put her down on the chair slowly. He pushed the chair aside and squatted down in front of Ye Yuwei, and continued to massage her legs after putting her hands on his shoulders to help her balance.

“Bear with it,” said Gu Juexi as he massaged harder. “Don’t overreact, how painful could it possibly be?”

“Gu Juexi…”

“Fine fine fine, very very painful.” Gu Juexi quickly changed his words. He would rather fight ten Qian Yikuns than go against one Ye Yuwei.

It looked like Gu Juexi knew what he was doing because Ye Yuwei did feel better after the massage.

Gu Juexi made sure that Ye Yuwei felt better before he stopped massaging and stood up. He looked at Ye Yuwei whose eyelashes were drenched with tears and swallowed the harsh words that he was going to say.

“What could it be if there was nothing fishy about the resort? Qian Yikun can’t be risking Qian Feng Enterprise, that was the result of his father’s painstaking efforts.” Ye Yuwei frowned.

“We don’t know that yet, but that is not the point. The biggest concern here is how many underground factories the Bai family have and where they are,” Gu Juexi explained as he helped Ye Yuwei sit down on a chair while he leaned against the side of the table.

“I am sure Bai Ying would know about this,” said Ye Yuwei softly.

“It is not that easy. Bai Ying’s motive to tear down the Bai family was known to all the patriarchs. They treated her as one of the Bai family members, but she was really just a puppet who hardly knew anything substantial about the Bai family’s business,” Gu Juexi explained to Ye Yuwei.

“In conclusion, it is inevitable that I visit the fortress of the Bai family.”

“Your identity is as good as a time bomb as long as the Bai family stands,” Gu Juexi said as he put his hands on Ye Yuwei’s shoulders. “‘Ye’ was your family name and you married into the Gu family. You have nothing to do with the Bai family, so please don’t think that I am doing all this for you. I am doing it for myself,” said Gu Juexi.

Ye Yuwei looked up at the man who was standing so close to her.

We all deserve a second chance to start again when it comes to love. For Gu Juexi, should she forget the past and give him and herself a second chance to love and be loved again?
